Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionalityshould not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.2. Maximum electrical ratings are defined as those values beyond which damage to the device may occur at TA = 25°C.3. According to JEDEC standard JESD22−A108B.4. This device series contains ESD protection and exceeds the following tests:

Human Body Model (HBM) per JEDEC standard: JESD22−A114.Machine Model (MM) per JEDEC standard: JESD22−A115.

5. Latchup current maximum rating per JEDEC standard: JESD78.6. JEDEC Standard: J−STD−020A.7. In applications with high power dissipation (low VIN, high IOUT), special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues. Board design

considerations − thermal dissipation vias, traces or planes and PCB material − can significantly improve junction to air thermal resistanceR�JA (for more information, see design and layout consideration section). Environmental conditions such as ambient temperature TA bringsthermal limitation on maximum power dissipation allowed.The following formula gives calculation of maximum ambient temperature allowed by the application:TA MAX = TJ MAX − (R�JA x Pd)Where: TJ is the junction temperature,

Pd is the maximum power dissipated by the device (worst case of the application),and R�JA is the junction−to−ambient thermal resistance.

8. To prevent permanent thermal damages, this device include a thermal shutdown which engages at 180°C (typ).9. Board recommended TSOP−5 and UDFN6 layouts are described on Layout Considerations section.

DC/DC OPERATION DESCRIPTION

Detailed DescriptionThe NCP1529 uses a constant frequency, current mode

step−down architecture. Both the main (P−channelMOSFET) and synchronous (N−channel MOSFET)switches are internal.

The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider inthe range of 0.9 V to 3.9 V and can source at least 1A.

The NCP1529 works with two modes of operation;PWM/PFM depending on the current required. In PWMmode, the device can supply voltage with a tolerance of�3% and 90% efficiency or better. Lighter load currentscause the device to automatically switch into PFM mode toreduce current consumption and extended battery life.

Additional features include soft−start, undervoltageprotection, current overload protection and thermalshutdown protection. As shown on Figure 1, only sixexternal components are required. The part uses an internalreference voltage of 0.6 V. It is recommended to keepNCP1529 in shutdown mode until the input voltage is 2.7 Vor higher.

PWM Operating ModeIn this mode, the output voltage of the device is regulated

by modulating the on−time pulse width of the main switchQ1 at a fixed 1.7 MHz frequency.

The switching of the PMOS Q1 is controlled by a flip−flopdriven by the internal oscillator and a comparator thatcompares the error signal from an error amplifier with thesum of the sensed current signal and compensation ramp.

The driver switches ON and OFF the upper side transistor(Q1) while the lower side transistor is switched OFF thenON.

At the beginning of each cycle, the main switch Q1 isturned ON by the rising edge of the internal oscillator clock.The inductor current ramps up until the sum of the currentsense signal and compensation ramp becomes higher thanthe error amplifier’s voltage. Once this has occurred, thePWM comparator resets the flip−flop, Q1 is turned OFFwhile the synchronous switch Q2 is turned ON. Q2 replacesthe external Schottky diode to reduce the conduction lossand improve the efficiency. To avoid overall power loss, acertain amount of dead time is introduced to ensure Q1 iscompletely turned OFF before Q2 is being turned ON.

ISW

Figure 26. PWM Switching Waveforms(VIN = 3.6 V, VOUT = 1.2 V, IOUT = 600 mA,

Temperature = 25�C)

VSW

PFM Operating ModeUnder light load conditions, the NCP1529 enters in low

current PFM mode of operation to reduce powerconsumption. The output regulation is implemented bypulse frequency modulation. If the output voltage dropsbelow the threshold of PFM comparator a new cycle will beinitiated by the PFM comparator to turn on the switch Q1.Q1 remains ON during the minimum on time of the structurewhile Q2 is in its current source mode. The peak inductorcurrent depends upon the drop between input and outputvoltage. After a short dead time delay where Q1 is switchedOFF, Q2 is turned in its ON state. The negative currentdetector will detect when the inductor current drops belowzero and sends a signal to turn Q2 to current source mode toprevent a too large deregulation of the output voltage. Whenthe output voltage falls below the threshold of the PFMcomparator, a new cycle starts immediately.

Soft−StartThe NCP1529 uses soft−start to limit the inrush current

when the device is initially powered up or enabled. Soft startis implemented by gradually increasing the referencevoltage until it reaches the full reference voltage. Duringstartup, a pulsed current source charges the internalsoft−start capacitor to provide gradually increasingreference voltage. When the voltage across the capacitorramps up to the nominal reference voltage, the pulsedcurrent source will be switched off and the reference voltagewill switch to the regular reference voltage.

Cycle−by−cycle Current LimitationFrom the block diagram, an ILIM comparator is used to

realize cycle−by−cycle current limit protection. Thecomparator compares the SW pin voltage with the referencevoltage, which is biased by a constant current. If the inductorcurrent reaches the limit, the ILIM comparator detects theSW voltage falling below the reference voltage and releasesthe signal to turn off the switch Q1. The cycle−by−cyclecurrent limit is set at 1600 mA (nom).

Low Dropout OperationThe NCP1529 offers a low input to output voltage

difference. The NCP1529 can operate at 100% duty cycle.In this mode the PMOS (Q1) remains completely ON. The

minimum input voltage to maintain regulation can becalculated as:

Vout � VOUT(max) � �IOUT�RDS(on)_RINDUCTOR

�� (eq. 1)

• VOUT: Output Voltage (V)

• IOUT: Max Output Current

• RDS(on): P−Channel Switch RDS(on)

• RINDUCTOR: Inductor Resistance (DCR)

Undervoltage LockoutThe Input voltage VIN must reach 2.4 V (typ) before the

NCP1529 enables the DC/DC converter output to begin thestart up sequence (see soft−start section). The UVLOthreshold hysteresis is typically 100 mV.

Shutdown ModeForcing this pin to a voltage below 0.4 V will shut down

the IC. In shutdown mode, the internal reference, oscillatorand most of the control circuitries are turned off. Therefore,the typical current consumption will be 0.3 �A (typicalvalue). Applying a voltage above 1.2 V to EN pin will enablethe DC/DC converter for normal operation. The device willgo through soft−start to normal operation.

Thermal ShutdownInternal Thermal Shutdown circuitry is provided to

protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximumjunction Temperature is exceeded. If the junction

temperature exceeds 180°C, the device shuts down. In thismode all power transistors and control circuits are turnedoff. The device restarts in soft−start after the temperaturedrops below 140°C. This feature is provided to preventcatastrophic failures from accidental device overheating.

Short Circuit ProtectionWhen the output is shorted to ground, the device limits the

inductor current. The duty−cycle is minimum and theconsumption on the input line is 550 mA (typ). When theshort circuit condition is removed, the device returns to thenormal mode of operation.

USB or 5 V Rail Powered ApplicationsFor USB or 5 V rail powered applications, NCP1529 is

able to supply voltages up to 3.9 V, 600 mA, operating inPWM mode only, with high efficiency (Figure 28), lowoutput voltage ripple and good load regulation results overall current range (Figure 29).

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Output Voltage SelectionIn case of adjustable versions, the output voltage is

programmed through an external resistor divider connectedfrom VOUT to FB then to GND.

For low power consumption and noise immunity, theresistor from FB to GND (R2) should be in the [100k−600k]range. If R2 is 200 k given the VFB is 0.6 V, the currentthrough the divider will be 3.0 �A.

The formula below gives the value of VOUT, given thedesired R1 and the R1 value:

Vout � VFB � (1 � R1�R2) (eq. 2)

• VOUT: Output Voltage (V)

• VFB: Feedback Voltage = 0.6 V

• R1: Feedback Resistor from VOUT to FB

• R2: Feedback Resistor from FB to GND

Input Capacitor SelectionIn PWM operating mode, the input current is pulsating

with large switching noise. Using an input bypass capacitorcan reduce the peak current transients drawn from the inputsupply source, thereby reducing switching noisesignificantly. The capacitance needed for the input bypasscapacitor depends on the source impedance of the inputsupply.

The maximum RMS current occurs at 50% duty cyclewith maximum output current, which is IO, max/2.

For NCP1529, a low profile ceramic capacitor of 4.7 �Fshould be used for most of the cases. For effective bypassresults, the input capacitor should be placed as close aspossible to the VIN Pin

Output L−C Filter Design ConsiderationsThe NCP1529 operates at 1.7 MHz frequency and uses

current mode architecture. The correct selection of theoutput filter ensures good stability and fast transientresponse.

Due to the nature of the buck converter, the output L−Cfilter must be selected to work with internal compensation.For NCP1529, the internal compensation is internally fixedand it is optimized for an output filter of L = 2.2 �H andCOUT = 10 �F.

The corner frequency is given by:

f �1

2� L � COUT

�1

2� 2.2 �H � 10 �F� 34 kHz

(eq. 3)

The device operates with inductance value of 2.2 �H. Ifthe corner frequency is moved, it is recommended to checkthe loop stability depending of the accepted output ripplevoltage and the required output current. Take care to checkthe loop stability. The phase margin is usually higher than45°.

2.2 �H 10 �F

Inductor SelectionThe inductor parameters directly related to device

performances are saturation current and DC resistance andinductance value. The inductor ripple current (�IL)decreases with higher inductance:

�IL �VOUT

L � fSW

�1 VOUT

VIN

� (eq. 4)

• �IL: Peak to peak inductor ripple current

• L: Inductor value

• fSW: Switching frequencyThe saturation current of the inductor should be rated

higher than the maximum load current plus half the ripplecurrent:

IL(max) � IO(max) ��IL

2(eq. 5)

• IL(max): Maximum inductor current

• IO(max): Maximum Output currentThe inductor’s resistance will factor into the overall

efficiency of the converter. For best performances, the DCresistance should be less than 0.3 � for good efficiency.

Output Capacitor SelectionSelecting the proper output capacitor is based on the

desired output ripple voltage. Ceramic capacitors with lowESR values will have the lowest output ripple voltage andare strongly recommended. The output capacitor requireseither an X7R or X5R dielectric.

The output ripple voltage in PWM mode is given by:

�VOUT � �IL �� 1

Feed−Forward Capacitor Selection (Adjustable Only)The feed-forward capacitor sets the feedback loop

response and acts on soft-start time. A minimum 18 pFfeed-forward capacitor is needed to ensure loop stability.

Having feed-forward capacitor of 1 nF or higher canincrease soft−start time and reduce inrush current. Choose asmall ceramic capacitor X7R or X5R or COG dielectric.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

Electrical Layout ConsiderationsImplementing a high frequency DC−DC converter

requires respect of some rules to get a powerful portableapplication. Good layout is key to prevent switchingregulators to generate noise to application and tothemselves.

Electrical layout guide lines are:• Use short and large traces when large amount of current

is flowing.• Keep the same ground reference for input and output

capacitors to minimize the loop formed by high currentpath from the battery to the ground plane.

• Isolate feedback pin from the switching pin and thecurrent loop to protect against any external parasiticsignal coupling. Add a feed−forward capacitor betweenVOUT and FB which adds a zero to the loop andparticipates to the good loop stability. A 18 pF

capacitor is recommended to meet compensationrequirements.A four layer PCB with a ground plane and a power plane

will help NCP1529 noise immunity and loop stability.

Thermal Layout ConsiderationsHigh power dissipation in small package leads to thermal

consideration such as:• Enlarge VIN trace and added several vias connected to

power plane.• Connect GND pin to top plane.

• Join top, bottom and each ground plane together usingseveral free vias in order to increase radiator size.

For high ambient temperature and high power dissipationrequirements, UDFN6 package using exposed padconnected to main radiator is recommended. Refer toNotes 7, 8, and 9.
